Missing Mob Drops
by GamerMC
Missing Mob Drops is a data pack that gives many vanilla mobs the loot they lack, filling a gap that about 20% of Minecraft mobs leave open.
What it does
Roughly one in five vanilla mobs drops nothing useful, so the data pack adds loot tables to those mobs. Each mob receives a set of items such as amethyst shards, armadillo scutes, slimeballs, phantom membranes, honeycomb, cactus, resin clumps and blaze powder, with stated quantities and a random fish drop on some entries. The author describes the aim as a near-vanilla approach, and the additions use the standard loot system rather than new mechanics.
The server must run the data pack, while players may leave it out and still join. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, in its data pack form, for 1.20.3 – 1.21.5, with 1.2+mod for 1.21.5 as the latest file. The code is licensed under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.
Key features
Loot for mobs without drops
Mobs that normally drop nothing gain items, so killing them yields something usable.
Amethyst, honeycomb and resin
Several mobs drop amethyst shards, honeycomb or resin clumps in set amounts, adding building and crafting materials.
Scutes and membranes
Armadillo scutes and phantom membranes are added as drops, covering items that otherwise need specific sources.
Blaze powder and cactus
Blaze powder and cactus pieces are dropped by the listed mobs, extending their drops beyond the vanilla set.
Ender Dragon drops
The Ender Dragon has an entry with leather, diamonds, gold ingots and fire charges in set quantities.

What the author says
More than 20% of Minecraft mobs don't drop any loot, and that's why I created this data pack. This data pack fills the gap, and adds loot to almost every mob in a vanilla friendly way (hopefully).
